Black Lotus - Chap 79
When he saw Gu Yansheng getting angrier, Zhou Yuanfeng stopped talking: “All right, I won’t say it.”

Turning to face Wen Niannan downstairs: “Niannan, go back early to your room to rest, you should be tired after today, don’t push yourself if your body isn’t feeling well.”
“Okay, thank you, Yuanfeng,” said softly Wen Niannan, nodding his head.
Zhou Yuanfeng glanced at the person who was staring at him with a severe expression, turned around, climbing the stairs.
Gu Yansheng snorted and walked to the stairs, thinking of the tiny smile at the corners of his mouth when the man on the sofa was chatting with Zhou Yuanfeng, he glanced at the person in the living room, then he approached.
When Wen Niannan saw Gu Yansheng getting close, walking towards him, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, his body became tense, he lowered his head.
“Go and make me a cup of coffee,” Gu Yansheng said impatiently, as he walked with a cold face to the other end of the couch.
The man on the couch seemed not to hear, so he didn’t get a response. Gu Yansheng raised his gaze, looking over.
“Drinking coffee at night isn’t good for sleep, you won’t be able to get asleep.”
“If I said I want it, you go and do it, what’s that nonsense!”

“I’m not going.”

Gu Yansheng thought he heard wrong, his eyes sank slightly, with harsh, he said: “What did you say?”
Wen Niannan raised his head, staring at the person in front of him with a serious expression: “Mom told you to take care of me, not me to take care of you.”
36
Uncle Xu came over when he heard a voice, he asked with concern: “Master…do you want coffee? I’m going to do it right now.”
Gu Yansheng didn’t say anything, turning his head, he looked at Wen Niannan with a cold face.
Suddenly he stepped forward, grabbing Wen Niannan’s hand. Wen Niannan was terrified by the sudden action, when he reacted, his body was already pulled in front of Gu Yansheng, almost lying on his lap.
Wen Niannan, struggled with fear in his eyes, he looked at him, asking with a trembling voice: “You…what are you trying to do?”
Those horrible memories when he was locked up in the basement flooded his mind, he raised his head, looking at the stairs, he began to shout.
“Mom…uhm…”
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was suddenly covered by a hand, struggling, a frightened Wen Niannan opened his mouth, biting his hand.

His hold was abruptly broken, Wen Niannan raised his eyes, looking at the demon-like person in front of him.

“How dare you! Try to bite me again.”
Gu Yansheng gloomily stared at the person in front of him who was shaking and looking at him with his eyes wide open, warning in them.
“Don’t wake up the people upstairs, understood?” he said, letting him go after that.
Upon seeing that, Xu Shu hurried forward to persuade him, but before he could speak, a cold look in the other eyes stopped him, scaring him.
“Get out!” As if afraid the people upstairs would hear it, he deliberately lowered his voice.
“Master, Sir, he isn’t yet…”
“Get out of here!”
Uncle Xu left the living room with a slight bow, looking worriedly at the two people on the couch.
“Let…let me go…” Wen Niannan forcefully broke the grip that was holding him, suddenly there was a tearing pain in his scalp.
Gu Yansheng lowered his head, looking at the person in front of him who was looking at him with terror, a cold gloom flashed in his eyes, his anger suddenly grew.
He pulled Wen Niannan’s long hair, forcing him to look at him, with a cold tone, he said: “You’re really courteous to the people around me, smiling and flattering, but to me, you only show me a cold expression, why? You’re very good at playing catch and play, aren’t you?”
23
Wen Niannan didn’t understand why Gu Yansheng suddenly was angry at him, the grip on his hair tightened, hurting him even more. He struggled with all his force, he didn’t want to be locked in the basement like last time.
“I…I don’t, Gu Yansheng, let me go…it hurts…”
Gu Yansheng’s eyes darkened after hearing that, he ironically said: “What? It wasn’t that easy to call me Yansheng before, but now you dare to call me by my full name?”
1
There was no reply for a long time, Gu Yansheng lowered his head to look at the face in his grip, but was taken aback when he met those eyes.
The eyes of the man in front of him were slightly red gleaming by the tears in the corners of his eyes, tears stuck into his eyelashes, his eyes were bright and the fine eyelashes were moving constantly because of fear.
Those hands were squeezing his own hands, seeing that he was looking at him, those bright eyes were slightly startled.
“Don’t…lock me in the basement…please…” The tears from the corners of his eyes suddenly slipped, crashing on his legs.

Lock him in the basement?
Looking at the fear in his eyes and the constant trembling body, Gu Yansheng involuntarily raised his eyes, fixing his gaze on the bandage on his forehead, only after that, he let go of his hand in a stupor.
Wen Niannan fell, sitting on the ground, Gu Yansheng subconsciously stretched out his hand to help, but he withdrew it before he could do it.
There was confusion in his eyes, at last, he pulled up the man on the ground, throwing him on the sofa.
Wen Niannan sat on the sofa holding his head without stopping to shiver, he remembered what Dr. Li had said, so he tried to breathe deeply to calm himself down, looking at the person on the other side with his eyes full of fear.
The man in front of him curled up into a ball, holding his head, the fear in his eyes was particularly stinging.
2
Gu Yansheng was a little dumbfounded for a moment. But for a while, he didn’t want to hit him, but Wen Niannan’s attitude towards Zhou Yuanfeng was very different from towards him, that was why he couldn’t control his hands, but he wasn’t trying to evoke memories of Wen Niannan’s fear.

“I won’t lock you in the basement. What are you making such a big fuzz? Are you nervous?”
5
Wen Niannan raised his hand, wiping the tears from his face, gradually calming down from the fear moments ago, he lowered his head, saying nothing.
Irritated, Gu Yansheng stood up, walking to the balcony, he took out a cigarette to lit it, then he glanced at the watch on his wrist.
Thinking suddenly of the confident and dazzling person sitting at the piano backstage at today’s concert, he looked at the trembling person on the sofa behind him…
“I want to go back to the room.” A very small voice suddenly came from behind him.
Gu Yansheng was surprised when he heard the voice, he asked: “What?”
“I…I’m tired, I want to go back to my room to sleep.”
“Go back to the room, why do you need to explain it to me?” His voice was full of displeasure.
Wen Niannan glanced at the person on the window sill, with a sarcastic smile at the corners of his mouth, he stood up from the sofa to walk upstairs.
“Wait, I’ll go up with you.”
1
Suddenly Gu Yansheng threw the cigarette in his hand into the trash can, approaching, he said with indifference: “I’m also tired, I want to go back to rest.”
After that, he raised his foot, walking upstairs despite the astonishment of the person in front of him.
Wen Niannan stared blankly at Gu Yansheng’s back, without being able to react on time.
“Why are you still there? Didn’t you want to back to the room?” asked Gu Yansheng impatiently, standing on the stairs, staring at him.
It was only then that Wen Niannan reacted and walked step by step, but still keeping a few steps away from Gu Yansheng.
Opening the door of the room, they entered one after another, Wen Niannan walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the person standing at the door.
Gu Yansheng raised his eyes, turning away from the person in front of him, he lightly said: “I need a change of clothes, I want to take a bath.”
“Take…take a bath?”
When Wen Niannan heard that he was going to take a bath in the room, his eyes widened, he was at a loss: “Don’t you usually do it in the guest room? What about today…”
“I’m telling you, go and look for my clothes, shall I tell you where to wash?” His tone was full of impatience.
“Your clothes are in another cabinet, on the far left.”
Gu Yansheng walked to the closet, took the clothes, and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door.
When Gu Yansheng came out of the bath, he was changed into his pajamas, the room was quiet, he paused from drying his hair, he started to walk, approaching.
He saw the person on his side of the bed, asleep, the soft light on the bedside table was shining on his face made him look unusually delicate.
Gu Yansheng stepped forward, as he watched that face, he stopped wiping his hair. His eyes sank, kneeling slightly, he turned off the lamp.
Unexpectedly, when the light was turned off, the man suddenly woke up, looking at him with horrified eyes.
“You…what are you doing?” Wen Niannan stared at him cautiously.
“It’s time for you to wash, I saw you were asleep, so I intended to wake you up,” said Gu Yansheng with an impatient snort.
Wen Niannan sat up, rubbing his sore neck, he turned his head, looking at the lamp that was turned off, there were some doubts in his eyes, but he didn’t think about it, he took his pajamas and got up to go to the bathroom.
After locking the door, Wen Niannan sighed in relief, he raised his hand to wipe off the mirror that was covered by the humidity, staring at the gauze above his eyes, he stroked it lightly.
Wen Niannan opened the door, walking out after taking a shower. His eyes were a bit irritated. He looked up at the bed unintentionally, he froze instantly.
Gu Yansheng was sitting on the bed looking at the computer…he didn’t sit on the sofa as he usually did at night. Wen Niannan was astonished for a while, with eyes full of panic.
Gu Yansheng raised his head, glancing at the person standing stiff at the entrance of the bathroom, he said with a cold face: “What are you looking at, aren’t you sleepy?”
“Are you going to sleep there today?”
“Why? Do you want to sleep on the sofa too? Shut up if you don’t want to sleep there.”
Wen Niannan put down the towel, then he walked to the bed, laying down. The body under the blanket was tense, he couldn’t tell if he was nervous or afraid.
There was a slight tapping on the computer keyboard behind him, Wen Niannan thought that the man behind him couldn’t control it, so he didn’t feel sleepy at all.
Gu Yansheng took the earphones, putting them on his ears, then he clicked play, he heard that melody countless times, the sound of WE’s piano seemed to be alive. The piano sound explained the ups and downs of the player’s also the course of their heart.
Even after listening to it countless times, he was still amazed, from the first time he heard it, Gu Yansheng wanted to know this man who could play such a perfect melody.
But today he heard the same emotional feeling of the piano as W.E at the concert.
Gu Yansheng turned his head, looking at the person on the bed with his back facing him, a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
With his taut body, Wen Niannan stared at the lamp on the nightstand. After a while, the tapping sound suddenly stopped, the bed moved slightly, the blanket was pulled.
He tensed his body as fast as he could, not even moving an inch, he held his breath.
“Don’t pretend, I know you are not asleep, did the water wet the bandage?” Gu Yansheng suddenly broke the silence of the room.
“No, I kept it away from it.”
“It’s good to know that you avoid it, if not I would have to bandage it again.”

Wen Niannan’s grip on the pillow tightened, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes.
